Five... ten... fifteen... twenty…
Twenty five… thirty ... thirty five… forty
When I count to a hundred...... here's what I'm gonna do
Ready or not I'm coming after you
CHORUS:
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Free Free
You can run but you know
you can't hide from me
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Free Free
You can run but you know
you can't hide from me
VERSE:
I'm faster than lighting, quicker than a bee
and I Can see you coming when
you're half way down the street
So you can try and dis' me when you're hanging with your friends
but no matter what you do I'm gonna
get you in the end
No way I can't find you
'II be right behind you
I’m out to get you boy
I’m out to get you boy
Chorus:
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Free Free
You can run but you know
you can't hide from me
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Free Free
You can run but you know
you can't hide from me
Verse:
I can move like a Cheetah, and I'll be there
if you need a Girl to spin around and
dance and I'll never miss a beat
other girls in town trying all kind of tricks
trying to get into your heart, trying to get
into the mix '
No matter what they use, I ain't gonna lose
I'm out to get you boy
I'm out to get you boy
Chorus:
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Free Free
You can run but you know
you can't hide from me
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Free Free
You can run but you know
you can't hide from me
Two bits... four bits…
six bits ... a dollar
I can make you scream…
and I can make you holler
You can jump in the ocean…
You can climb up a tree
You can try but you can't get away from
me
Verse:
You can run to the left, you can run to the
right But no matter where you run I'm
gonna keep you in my sight.
Uptown, downtown, all around the world
When you break it all down I'm gonna be your
girl
You're just wasting time
Ain't no use deny'n
I'm out to get you boy
I'm out to get you boy
Chorus:
Ollie Ollie Oxen Free Free Free
You can run but you know
you can't hide from me

You can run but you know you can't hide from me
